Solution-Focused Practice in End-of-Life & Grief Counseling

In solution-focused therapy, all that is required is a client's vision of how his or her life might be different and more satisfying.

Especially applicable to facing end-of-life issues: those who are dying, those who are about to lose a loved one, and those who are grieving the loss of a loved one, solution-focused therapy helps clients think of possibilities rather than limitations.
